horchata season!

Life has been busy, and once more I list for reference.

Music

One Summer Night - Ariel Pink // the weather here right now makes me think summer is forever
1992 - Rejjie Snow // Slow and hazy rap for foggy mornings
Ghost Town - First Aid Kit // music to wake up to and feel fulfilled
This Year - The Mountain Goats // sheds light during even the most stressful times
Tangerine - Led Zeppelin // growing up my parents would always play classic rock, and this song seemed to be a favorite
Trains and Boats and Planes - Dionne Warwick // reminds me that while I'm stuck in the moment (love u jb), I'm still going places
Albums: Pure Heroine - Lorde and Blue Neighborhood - Troye Sivan

Quotes

"be in charge of your own light switch"
"There's no one smarter or more capable than you, there's only people who have studied more than you" - Terry Crews
"Scranton is the Paris of Northeastern Pennsylvania" - Michael Scott on The Office
"If you think about it, Trump is just political performance art" - my friend

TV Shows

MASTERS OF NONE. JUST LOVE YOURSELF AND WATCH IT. I came home from the SATs and watched the whole series (thirteen 30min episodes) in one go and it was the best decision ever. Everything from the cinematography to the script is spot on and my love for Aziz has never been greater. Also the soundtrack is perfect.
